There is no consistent frequency for leather treatment, since the condition of the leather depends on so many variables. The foremost consideration is probably how often you ride your bike, but also whether your bike spends a lot of time outdoors, climate, etc. I think the best policy is to just go by the appearance of the leather. When it starts to appear dry (the color/texture begins to look mottled, and the leather has no 'pull up' or does not discolor at all when you press on it, it may be time for a little sparing treatment. Also, if you have an old saddle and no proofide (or ran out), you can make your own conditioner with beeswax and vegetable oil.
